Electromagnetic scattering on a sphere is one of the most fundamental problems, which has a closed form analytical solution in the form of Mie series. Being initially formulated for a plane incident wave, the formalism can be extended to…

What will happen if two identical microspheres, with fundamental whispering gallery modes excited in each of them, become optically coupled? Conventional wisdom based on coupled-mode arguments says that two new modes, bonding and…
Scattering of light at a distribution of scatterers is an intrinsically cooperative process, which means that the scattering rate and the angular distribution of the scattered light are essentially governed by bulk properties of the…

Soft spheres interacting via a hard core and range of attractive and repulsive "soft-shoulder" potentials self-assemble into clusters forming a variety of mesophases. We combine a mean field theory developed from a lattice model with a…
